    3. I remember that song well! In fact, a couple of years ago I was searching the internet to get a copy of "The Dambusters' March" by the Billy Cotton Band, and found "A Golden Coach" by Billy Cotton. I think he wrote it! When I used to run the antiques stall for the hospice, someone once gave us a Coronation Coach, with horses and everything, still in its box, and I was delighted that we got £20 for it without even trying. Yesterday, the Hospice had a Jubilee Day for the day patients, including a display of 1953 stuff (for the Coronation wasn't until 1953) and I thought how well the coach would have looked in the display cabinet. Marj > Had a memory jog today reading The Telegraph - a feature about the Jubilee mentioned a record which was popular at the time A Golden Coach sung by Dickie Valentine - we had this disc but I guess I never heard of it until now. > I did have awonderful model of the Coronation Coach, which was quite expensive at the time and now worth a lot of money. Unfortunately, I remember melting it down for the lead to help another project! > >> --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
